Although the name "Tiger" may not be official yet, the 100-plus substantial changes to the core language and numerous additions to the library and API definitely are. Printed on graph paper with room for notes, this book bypasses the theoretical and focuses on the practical, starting with new features in arrays, queues, overriding return types, Unicode and StringBuilder. Chapters that follow include generics, enumerated types, autoboxing and unboxing, varangs, annotations, the "for/in" statement, static imports, formatting, and threading. Each topic starts with a brief explanation followed by examples and application tips. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

With more than 700,000 copies sold to date, "Java in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly is clearly the favorite resource amongst the legion of developers and programmers using Java technology. And now, with the release of the 5.0 version of Java, O'Reilly has given the book that defined the "in a Nutshell" category another impressive tune-up. In this latest revision, readers will find "Java in a Nutshell," 5th Edition, does more than just cover the extensive changes implicit in 5.0, the newest version of Java. It's undergone a complete makeover--in scope, size, and type of coverage--in order to more closely meet the needs of the modern Java programmer. To wit, "Java in a Nutshell," 5th Edition now places less emphasis on coming to Java from C and C++, and adds more discussion on tools and frameworks. It also offers new code examples to illustrate the working of APIs, and, of course, extensive coverage of Java 5.0. But faithful readers take comfort: it still hasn't lost any of its core elements that made it such a classic to begin with. This handy reference gets right to the heart of the program with an accelerated introduction to the Java programming language and its key APIs--ideal for developers wishing to start writing code right away. And, as was the case in previous editions, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition is once again chock-full of poignant tips, techniques, examples, and practical advice. For as long as Java has existed, "Java in a Nutshell" has helped developers maximize the capabilities of the program's newest versions. And this latest edition is no different.

Covering Java 1.4 in this third edition, this reference contains 193 complete code examples encompassing 20 distinct client-side and server-side APIs. The book begins with introductory examples demonstrating structured and object-oriented programming techniques for new Java programmers. The third edition includes new chapters on the Java Sound API and the NEW I/O API. Chapters on XML and servlets have been rewritten to cover the latest versions of the specifications and to demonstrate best practices for Java 1.4. Flanagan is a computer programmer who has written other books on Java. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The bestselling Java in a Nutshell has been updated to cover Java 1.1. If you're a Java programmer who is migrating to 1.1, this second edition contains everything you need to get up to speed on the new features of Java 1.1. Or if you are just now jumping on the Java bandwagon, Java in a Nutshell still has all of the features that have made it the Java book most often recommended on the Internet. An advanced introduction to Java for C and C++ programmers teaches you everything you need to know about the language, while the complete quick-reference contains descriptions of all of the classes in the Java 1.1 API, with the exception of the Enterprise APIs. Java in a Nutshell also fully describes the syntax of the Java language, making it the only quick reference that a Java programmer needs. The second edition of Java in a Nutshell covers Version 1.1 of the Java Development Kit (JDK). It includes all of the material from the first edition, as well as the following updated information for Java 1.1: A detailed overview of all of the features in Java 1.1, both on a package-by-package basis and in terms of overall functionality. A comprehensive tutorial on "inner classes" that explains how to use all of the new types of inner classes: static member classes, member classes, local classes, and anonymous classes. Practical, real-world example programs that demonstrate the features in Java 1.1, including object serialization, the new AWT event handling model, internationalization, and a sample Java Bean. A complete quick reference for all of the classes, methods, and variables in the core Java 1.1 API. The quick-reference pages include indicators that make it easy to find the 1.1 material. In addition, cross-reference material is now provided directly on each reference page. With the 1.1 release, Java has grown too large to fit in a single book, even in quick-reference form. Thus, we see the need to split Java in a Nutshell into multiple volumes. This volume, the "original" Java in a Nutshell, documents the most commonly used features of Java and is an indispensable reference for all Java programmers. We may publish a separate volume that will cover the Java "Enterprise APIs", which include the database connectivity, remote method invocation, and security features, as well as other forthcoming components, such as CORBA IDL support and the electronic commerce framework. And as other new Java APIs are develo

Este libro es una referencia al instante e indispensable para los programadores de Java. Las descripciones objetivas y el material de referencia "amigable" con los cuales cuenta lo han convertido en el libro sobre Java mas recomendado en Internet. Esta se
